A Domino's Pizza driver has been suspended after a car bearing the logo of the world’s biggest pizza delivery chain was caught on camera carrying out an audacious overtaking move in Exeter.

The incident was captured on dashcam by a motorist who was driving through the city in the early hours of this morning.

The rear camera shows the vehicle travelling along Pinhoe Road. The driver of the pizza delivery vehicle, a Volkswagen Golf bearing an illuminated Domino’s sign, decides they have had enough of the sedate pace of the traffic.

Video shows the Golf crossing onto the right hand lane and overtaking two vehicles. There are three set of illuminated bollards and a hatched area that separate the vehicle from the left-hand lane.

The incident happened at 5.26am near the crossing for Whipton Village.

The man who sent the footage to DevonLive.com said he couldn’t believe his eyes.

“This Domino's driver in a Volkswagen Golf overtook me and the BMW in front of me at the same time,” he said.

“He was driving in the wrong way and missing the yellow signs in the middle of the road.

“He was clearly in a hurry - maybe they do an express pizza delivery?”

Domino’s Pizza is a franchise business with outlets across Devon owned by different companies. The company's head office has been sent the footage and says it hs launched an investigation.

Louise Butler, a spokesperson for Domino’s commented: "Our people are expected to drive responsibly at all times in accordance with Domino’s safe driving policy and UK highway law. The colleague in question appears to have been off duty at the time of the incident and has been placed on suspension with immediate effect pending a full investigation."

The video comes just days after Devon and Cornwall Police released footage of a 100mph car chase through the city and winding Devon countryside. That led to the arrest and prosecution of a 60-year-old heroin dealer.
